Mounting & Operation
17
6 Carefully insert the lens into the lens port. Align the notch
in the lens flange with the index pin on the mount, keeping
the lens rotated into a position where the lens markings
are visible from either side of the camera.
7 Press the lens flange flat onto the lens mount.
8 Turn the bayonet ring clockwise until the lens is locked
securely.
9 Ensure that the lens is properly mounted.
WARNING!
•
Do not use on PL mount cameras! The LPL lenses can
only be used on cameras with LPL mounts. Contact your
local ARRI service center to refit your camera with an
LPL mount.
•
Do not use strong forces to mount the lens. In case the
bayonet is not moving smoothly, check if the lens is
correctly positioned.
CAUTION!
•
When not attached to the camera, attach the protective
caps on the lens rear and front part to prevent dust from
entering the lens cavity.
•
LPL mount lenses can only be mounted in one
orientation into the camera (with the LDS-2 contacts in
12 o’clock position).
Lens Support
Heavy lenses may require additional lens support. Using a lens
support guarantees that the weight of the lens will not influence
the flange focal depth and reduces stress on the lens mount.
Before installing the lens, make sure that the lens support is
attached properly to the lens. To support a lens, use appropriate
studio rods and lens bridge.
